Solo exhibition
This, David Austen’s 3rd solo exhibition at the Ingleby gallery, will present recent
paintings and works on paper alongside a new suite of 25 etchings published under
the title Green Electric Morning. Ten copies of the complete series will be
available as a boxed folio and five additional copies of each print will be released
individually.
Austen was born in Harlow in 1960 and studied both at Maidstone College of Art and
the Royal College London. His work is represented in many important collections
including Tate, The British Council, Arts Council and the Government Art Collection,
and in private collections as far reaching as Madrid and Alabama, Edinburgh and
Sydney, Brussels, Los Angeles, Tokyo and New York. He has received major commissions
in the City of London and in Cairo and has curated a number of exhibitions and
publications including Exodus at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge in 2004 and within the
pages of Modern Painters in 2002. In 2007 he has a major solo exhibition at Milton
Keynes Gallery that will then tour to important public venues in the UK.
Accompanying Green Electric Morning will be one of our ongoing series of linen bound
artist books published in an edition of 1000 - 20 of these will be signed and
numbered with an original drawing by the artist.
